All About CA Camps

Summer 2024 Dates:

Monday, June 17, 2024 - Friday, August 9, 2024

The Perfect Transition to “Big-Kid” Camp!

Campers’ bunks will be in Goldsmith Early Childhood Center classrooms, campers will partake in daily CA Camps activities.  Additional supervision by early childhood teachers and some extra indoor time will keep our campers extra secure!

Parents can opt-in to daily instructional swimming for no extra charge.

Lower Campers (Kindergarten – 2nd Grade) will have bunk rooms in Krieger Schecter Day School classrooms.  Enjoy a packed day of activities and swim instruction daily!

Middle Camp Campers are our older campers and get a lot more choices and autonomy!

Campers enjoy weekly field trips to SkyZone, Sportsman’s Hall, Monster MiniGolf, Bowling, and More!

Campers can also register for Specialty Camps including Sports Camp, Culinary Camp, Arts Camp, and Science Camp!  These camps are week-long sessions so choose one or all 4!

All Specialty Camps are 1-week sessions.  Specialty Camp schedules differ from normal day camp schedule.

Sports Camp:

Work with Coach Darryn on sports skills. Each week our campers will enhance their abilities through drills, games, and competition.  Our sports camp will feature basketball, soccer, flag football, and baseball.

Culinary Camp :

Note: 3rd Grade and Older … Learn to Cook and Bake with Chef Annie!  Our campers will learn important kitchen skills including chopping, mixing, measuring, and teamwork. Each week will end with a CA Camps Top Chef competition.

Science Camp:

Campers Join Science Guys for an engaging week of science programming!   We pack each week full of experiments (about 20-30 per week!!), games, relationship building, and FUN! The vibe is very campy, but with tons of learning woven in.

Arts Camp:

Create art with Ms. Theresa.  Our campers use their imagination as they develop art skills, learn new techniques and expand artistic knowledge. Campers will have the opportunity to produce original works of art.

Our 7th-10th graders earn student service learning (volunteer / chesed) hours for assisting around camp.  Learn leadership skills, help plan programming, enjoy special out-of-camp trips to Hershey Park, and more!

General Info

Bunking
Each camper is grouped with same-aged children. Bunks typically have 12-15 children and two counselors, plus a bunk helper (high school student).

Staffing
We are proud to offer a low camper-to-staff ratio. During 2023, we averaged a 1:4 ratio. Our counselors are classified as either Junior Counselors (Ages 16-18) or Head Counselors (18+). We also include special area staff including our lifeguard/swim instructors, sports staff, arts teachers, etc.

All of our staff undergo FBI, Maryland, and Child Protective Services background checks before working at Camp.
